The Celebrate Luton Street Fest filled the town centre with music, entertainment, dance, theatre and colour at the weekend.

The free two-day festival saw drummers, parades, comedy, music, street circus, interactive street games, dance, a projection, flashmob, rap, workshop and much more.

A comic, musical promenade performance by French outdoor arts company Vernisseurs kicked off the weekend on Friday, with the evening also seing traditional folk bhangra dancing complete with dhol drummers and singers and Carnaval Transatliantico, Brazilian carnival music.

Saturday continued with roaming entertainment and an outdoor arts programme that included a pop-up flashmob from the Big Music Company, bringing Luton choirs together to learn and perform Bohemian Rhapsody!

The closing event later than evening was a dynamic spark and pyro display from Worldbeaters, a world-class illuminated music and street theatre drumming act.

But there was also a children’s street theatre, interactive street games and a high skill contemporary dance performance that involved the audience in a game of table tennis.

A Luton BID-funded event, working in partnership with RevoLuton Arts and supported by Arts Council England and Global Streets, the BID posted a plethora of photos and videos while RevoLuton produced a podcast too.

RevoLuton Arts also produced a podcast with with Vernisseurs who performed Joyous Urban Mess at the Street Fest.
